10 antique cat books get new lives at the Internet Archive

Kittens and Cats; A Book of Tales (1911), above, by Eulalie Osgood Grover, may have been the lolcats of its time.
The Art of the Cat. The Collections Team at the Internet Archive has a What's New blog, and yesterday's post. links to 10 very old cat books -- among them,
-- Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Tom Kitten, full of her original watercolors;
--Dame Trot and her Cat, author unknown, pictured at right;
-- Edward Lear's Nonsense Drolleries: The Owl and the Pussy-cat; The Duck and the Kangaroo (1889);
-- a 1907 cat care book and
-- one with lovely endpapers.
I've linked to the Flip Book option on these links, a quick way to browse each.
